Turtle Mountain was surrounded by misty clouds. The entire mountain was faintly discernible, shaped like a black turtle.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, one could feel an extremely powerful Spiritual Qi. All kinds of light refracted from the mountain. It was extremely beautiful.
Now, countless people appeared here. Many people from the Liu Imperial City had come.
However, at the foot of the mountain at the very front were still the strong cultivators from the Qin Dynasty and Ye Futian's group.
Many young men and women from the Liu Kingdom looked at Qin Yuan, Qian Shanmu, Ye Futian, and the others. These top geniuses were famous throughout the Eastern Barren Territory. They were the targets of all the youths in the Eastern Barren Territory.
"Qin Mengruo and Chu Yaoyao are so beautiful." A young lady from the Liu Kingdom exclaimed at their beauty. She was also a beauty. She'd always thought that the top three beauties of the Eastern Barren Territory weren't much prettier than her. Now that she saw them, she realized that she was far from their charms.
"Prince Qin is so handsome." A girl beside her looked at Qin Yuan. In the crowd, Qin Yuan was definitely one of the most handsome men.
"Isn't Ye Futian handsome?" a girl in a green dress asked, smiling.
"Of course he is, but I like Prince Qin's gentleness more. I heard that Ye Futian is too proud and overbearing. The Cottage disciples don't respect anyone and call Prince Qin a villain. However, Prince Qin didn't say anything about him. I like Prince Qin more. He and Princess Chenyu are a match made in heaven."
"Do you know what Ye Futian said in the Ancient Barren World?" a youth around 18 asked.
"Those who know me understand my arrogance?" the girl asked.
"Cottage disciples don't need to care about what others think," the youth said indifferently. "Do what you want and do what you want. That's how a man should be. I don't like Prince Qin."
He didn't say that he thought Prince Qin was hypocritical.
"Then who do you think will reach the top?" the girl asked, smiling.
"If Qin Yuan is competing with Ye Futian, he obviously can't win. But I don't know about Ye Wuchen." The youth trusted the Cottage disciples very much. That was his goal.
"Although Qin Yuan is only competing with Ye Wuchen, Ye Futian and the others will also climb Turtle Mountain. I heard that Qin Yuan has extraordinary talent. Qian Shanmu, Qin Li, Qin Mengruo, Chu Yaoyao, and the others are all extremely talented. Let's wait and see."
They were not the only ones. Everyone around them was talking about Qin Yuan, Ye Futian, and the others. At that moment, Qin Yuan and the others walked towards Turtle Mountain.
Ye Futian and the others also walked up Turtle Mountain.
The Turtle Mountain did not have a proper path. The ancient turtle-shaped mountain seemed to have been cut into pieces. There were jagged rocks everywhere.
The moment they set foot on Turtle Mountain, they felt as if they were carrying a turtle on their backs. Their steps were extremely heavy. Ye Futian tried to fly, but he realized that the force forced him back. He could only walk. However, this was within his expectations. If he could fly, anyone would be able to climb Turtle Mountain.
Liu Feiyang was also climbing Turtle Mountain with Ye Futian. Ye Futian asked, "How long do we need to walk to the top?"
"I don't know." Liu Feiyang shook his head. "Those who reach the top of Turtle Mountain are all emperors of the Liu Kingdom. I heard that many members of the royal family have lost themselves on this mountain. We must be careful."
"Okay." Ye Futian nodded. He glanced at the people from the Qin Dynasty not far away. They were also climbing up the mountain step by step. Qin Yuan was in the middle. Qin Li seemed to feel something and glanced at Ye Futian.
As they walked up Turtle Mountain, the entire mountain seemed to be covered in a layer of mist. They could not see clearly like when they were at the foot of the mountain. Apart from going up, they could not tell any direction at all. They had no idea where they were.
Around them, many strong cultivators of the Liu Kingdom followed them up. They wanted to see how far they could go.
Time passed bit by bit. Everyone's footsteps became heavier. The invisible pressure from Turtle Mountain kept increasing.
Many of the Liu Kingdom's strong cultivators behind them started to slow down. Some even couldn't walk anymore and sat down to rest.
"Argh …" A shriek rang out and echoed in the mountains. Many people felt a faint sense of fear and were no longer as relaxed as when they first set foot on Turtle Mountain.
Only the top figures at the very front and some of the extremely talented people of the Liu Kingdom could still move forward steadily. But even they were gradually slowing down.
Behind them, a woman who cultivated sorcery stopped and said to her companions, "I'm going to rest."
With that, she sat down on a rock and wanted to gather the Spiritual Qi around her to cultivate. Climbing was too tiring. The Spiritual Qi in her body was constantly being consumed. Because she did not cultivate, her body could not last for long.
"Okay." The others nodded and sat down to rest. However, very quickly, their bodies began to tremble slightly. Then, as if there was an invisible force pulling their bodies, they fell down from the sky.
At that moment, a few consecutive screams pierced through the silent Turtle Mountain. The echoes were endless. The people climbing the mountain in the mist were no longer as determined.
Then, more and more similar screams appeared. Everyone became more and more unsettled.
Ye Futian's group continued steadily forward. He could no longer see the people around him. He had no idea where Qin Yuan and the others were.
Using the Freedom Meditation, he saw a gigantic black turtle pressing down on him. It was much more terrifying than the training field on Mount Chong. He had no choice but to stop using the Freedom Meditation. Otherwise, he would not be able to take too many steps. Normally, he could use it to train his body, but now he was climbing a mountain instead of cultivating.
After walking for an entire day, Ye Futian and the others all felt a wave of exhaustion. Now, they did not even know where they were. This feeling of the unknown was the scariest. It was as if there would never be an end.
"Do you want to rest?" Ye Futian asked. This was the first time he mentioned resting. Even with his powerful body, he felt very tired. Ye Wuchen, Loulan Xue, and the others felt the same.
Ye Wuchen stopped and nodded. The group sat down on the ground and closed their eyes to rest.
When Ye Futian closed his eyes, he actually felt a sense of dizziness. Exhaustion washed over him, and he wanted to relax and have a good sleep. His body became light as a feather, as if he was floating in mid-air. Suddenly, there was a hand from the abyss in his mind, grabbing at him.
"I can't rest!"
Ye Futian suddenly opened his eyes and shouted. Everyone woke up and opened their eyes. There was a flash of sharpness and their breathing quickened.
The group looked at each other and took a deep breath. Then, they stood up and continued climbing.
"Is this really the sacred ground of the Liu Kingdom?" Ye Futian looked at Liu Feiyang speechlessly.
"I heard my father say that only those with great determination can enter Turtle Mountain. If you want to become the emperor of the Liu Kingdom, you have to pass through Turtle Mountain," Liu Feiyang replied.
Ye Futian was a bit depressed. He could only force himself to continue. But if they were like this, the others must be having a hard time too.
Ye Wuchen was very silent on the way up. If he didn't solve this problem, he wouldn't be able to rest. His eyes were extremely determined.
Days passed just like that. Turtle Mountain seemed like it would never reach the top. Ye Futian and the others were already very tired. Their legs were heavy and their bodies were tense. It was too uncomfortable to be so mentally and physically tense for so long.
At the foot of Turtle Mountain, countless people looked up at the figures at the top.
Many of the previous climbers had fallen. Some were lightly injured while others were heavily injured. But there were still people who continued to climb in an attempt to break through their limits.
They could see groups of people halfway up Turtle Mountain in the clouds. Those who were halfway up were all from top forces. There were even people from top forces who couldn't hold on and fell, including Nobles.
"Prince Qin and Ye Futian seem to be in the same place," someone said. The figures seemed very small in their field of vision. They were already halfway up. Who knew if they could reach the top?
Ye Futian and the others didn't even know where they were. Their bodies seemed to be extremely tired. At this moment, the path seemed to have become much smoother. It was easier to walk.
In the rising clouds, a sea of flowers appeared. It was spectacular and beautiful.
"Are we going to reach the top?" Ye Futian asked. He looked at the people beside him but realized that they couldn't be seen anymore.
"Yusheng, Wuchen," Ye Futian called out.
There was no reply. It was as if they'd disappeared into thin air.
He frowned slightly. In the sea of flowers, Ye Futian saw a beautiful figure appear. Her beautiful eyes stared at him and seemed to melt his heart.
"Chu Yaoyao?"
Ye Futian had a strange expression. Then he saw Chu Yaoyao stare at him with a beautiful expression. She walked closer step by step and reached out her hand. She just stared at him in a daze.
"Illusion?" Ye Futian continued to move forward, ignoring the beautiful figure. She passed through him, and then he saw another illusion.
The noble and aloof beauty, Qin Mengruo, was playing the guqin. The music was melodious and there was a clear spring in front of her.
When the music stopped, Qin Mengruo stood up and put her hands on her shoulders. She took off her clothes and revealed her fair shoulders. Her slender legs walked into the spring step by step. Her clothes were wet. At this moment, she suddenly looked back at him and smiled.
"…" Ye Futian blinked. How could he see such an illusion?
"Don't look at indecent things." Ye Futian continued forward, ignoring the beautiful scene. After that, Lin Yueyao, Senior Sister Qin Yi, Loulan Xue … Those who should and shouldn't appear all appeared in the illusion. This made Ye Futian depressed. Was this a test of his state of mind? Why were there so many beauties?
He wasn't a lecher!
Of course, the scene that moved him the most and almost made him unable to refuse was still Jieyu's appearance. But he still restrained himself. There was still time.
Yu Sheng also experienced an illusion, but his experience was much simpler than Ye Futian's. There were no beauties around him. Only two people appeared in his illusion: his father and Ye Futian.
